Description

Very simple extension to remove Whitespace from github pull request reviews.

Normally, when reviewing a pull request to a code repository on Github.com, the diff displayed on the pull request will automatically include 'whitespace-only changes', i.e. a
tab added to the beginning of a line. There is a method to 'hide' whitespace-only changes, however, this will reset the moment you navigate away or to a new pull request. There
currently isn't a way to ensure this is the 'default' setting.

When this extension is installed and enabled, all github.com urls containing the expression /pulls/ will be rewritten to have ?w=1 as a query parameter (without mangling the other params). As a result, all Github code reviews will always ignore whitespace, rather than having to toggle it for each review (See example image). This is a useful feature when having to review a lot of code that has a lot of whitespace in it.

If Github someday makes this a profile setting rather than a transient one, this extension will no longer be needed.

What has inspired us?

Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
